About Marjorie Prime 

During the dawn of artificial intelligence, people will go to the extreme in order to cope with loss. In Marjorie Prime, residents of a distant future seek to resurrect the dead as a pixelated and replicated form that retains chunks of information from the past. Exploring the depths and complexity of the human psyche, Marjorie Prime raises the question of whether any part of the human spirit could ever be replaced with technology.

A mess of fragmented, fading memories, 85-year-old Marjorie is given respite in the form of a gorgeous new companion who is designed to feed her the story of her life. If we were presented with the opportunity, what would we remember and what would we forget?

What does it mean to be human in the modern age? Set in a world where technology has advanced to the point of creating lifelike holograms that help ease our grief and despair, Jordan Harrison's latest thought-provoking production, Marjorie Prime (at the Menier Chocolate Factory) asks difficult questions about what it means to be human and whether artificial intelligence can ever truly replace the human experience.

We caught up with star of Marjorie PrimeTony Jayawardena, whose distinguished career in theatre has included appearances in The Tempest, and East is East. He also has an impressive list of television credits to his name, such as Ackley Bridge and The Crown. Here, he talks about all things rehearsals, how he prepared for his role in Marjorie Prime and what he thinks about the story.
